Love Island's Zara becomes latest star to leave show amid heated villa rows

Love Island star Zara Lackenby-Brown has been booted out of the villa following a recoupling.

Another Islander found themselves departing the South African villa this evening, and unfortunately for dancer and model Zara, it was her time to leave the ITV2 show, as she wasn't picked by the male Islanders in tonight's recoupling.

Zara had hoped to find love this Winter, but unfortunately she found herself dumped from the villa when the male Islanders made their selections on who they'd like to couple up with. It was the boys' chance to choose thanks to the arrival of bombshell Samie, whose presence clearly had shaken up the villa.

Following the recoupling, it meant Zara was the last girl standing and thus she was dumped from the show as Tom was the last to pick and went for Ellie, who he shared a secret kiss with.

Ahead of her arrival into the villa, Zara shared her hope of finding love, insisting she would bring the sass and spice to the show.

"It’s been something that I’ve been thinking about for a long time. My love life is a bit shambolic so it would be nice to date in a different environment as whatever I’m doing at the minute isn’t working," she said.

Asked what she'd bring to the villa, she added: "Sass, vibes and good energy. I’m a massive hype girl, I’m very complimentary so I hope to keep the vibes up in the Villa. I’ll also bring spice, I’m a bit different.

"I don’t think there’s anyone in there that's like me so I reckon I’ll keep things interesting."

Since her arrival into the villa, Zara ruffled a few feathers when she picked Ron to go on a date with. Whilst the pair seemed to get along initially, things fizzled out and Ron went back to Lana whilst Zara set her sights on Tom.

There was also a huge feud brewing between Zara and Olivia, which all seemed to kick off when Zara was asked who she thought was the most two-faced in the villa. Seemingly out of nowhere, she picked ring girl and actress Olivia.

Soon, a whole feud escalated from that moment and the pair were regularly caught in heated exchanges as they vied for the attention of bombshell Tom Clare. Zara was also the one who told Olivia about Tom's secret kiss with Ellie, which sent the ITV2 villa into chaos as it kicked off a string events, leaving just two couples solid.
